So.......the only way to gain the experience necessary to be a councillor is by having been a er.............councillor? And as for a working party. Would those on it be elected on to it or would they be self selecting? Would a pre-requisite be that a candidate must have been a councillor somewhere at sometime in their lives? where has @ER113 said anything about city & guild etc ...
@Lynne - well considering we have both sat upon the town council is that not enough? i never knew in all my years that you had to have city & guilds, nvq's and a degree to represent your town as @ER113 somehow thinks you do need.
@TheObserver - but would you and Margaret have the necessary qualifications? :)
Taken it too. But what a load of rubbish. It even can't help itself but to contine to mention Newton Abbot everywhere within in it. Oh well. Did my bit.

First stop is a lovely bakery, followed by a travel agent, a lettings agent and then an estate agent. Quickly followed by a fabulous health foods store, a beauty therapist salon, a chiropractor and then an osteopath! Next up is Thorntons and then Presents of Dawlish for ...
Tell Teignbridge District Council how they're doing with the 10 year Council strategy satisfaction survey at: www.teignbridge.gov.uk/ councilstrategysurvey
Dawlish as I see it is full of estate agents, cafe's and druggies. They are building too many houses with no space left for anything else, and it is that anything else we require, but where would it go? as far out of town as possible like this new so called play park. Who's going to go there? And who is going to come to Dawlish in the years to come, just to sit in a cafe, watch druggies and ...
